Θ   Heating -    Frequently Asked Questions

◦ What's the most effective way to heat my pool?

This depends on what you are looking for. I will run through the basic differences between the different types of systems.

 

Heat Pumps - Heat pumps are more expensive up front to purchase  than gas heaters and about the same price as a comparable solar system. Heat pumps are more efficient than a gas heater. You can heat your pool for as little as a $1 a day with a heat pump. Heat pumps usually carry a 10+ year warranty.

Who should buy a heat pump - Someone looking to heat their pool many times through out the year.

 

Gas Heaters - Gas heaters are less expensive up front. The life span of a gas heater is approximately 6 years. Gas heaters heat the quickest but cost the most to run.

Who should buy a gas heater - Anyone wanting to heat their pool or spa quick but use it few times a year, since it is costly to use it constantly.

 

Solar - Solar is great since it doesn't cost anything to run. It will heat your pool by as much as 10 degrees in most spring and summer months. Solar is not a good choice if you want to swim in the winter. Solar will extend your swimming season approximately 4-9 weeks.

Who should buy solar - Solar is great for those wanting to swim warm during the spring, summer, and part of fall.

◦ What electrical work is needed if I purchase a heater?

Heat Pumps require their own 220v electrical breaker. We recommend hiring a electrical contractor to pre-wire for the heat pump.

Solar Panels do not require any electric.

Gas Heaters require a 220v electrical pre-wire.
